Purchasing a new teak cockpit table from Marineteak. Teak comes natural unfinished and they recommend using Semco Teak Sealer on it. Opinions on Semco Sealer vs other brands. Thanks

On the table Henry made me for my 300DA I used Watco. ( How I wish I kept that table when I sold my 300DA)Marine teak tables are a teak veneer on stabilized (resin saturated) plywood, so from a protection perspective the coating is not significant. It comes down to your personal tastes. If you want a glossy table then you could use one of the marine grade varnishes (six coats w/sanding between coats at a minimum. But be prepared to refinish that every other year or so.
Teak oil is an easy fix, but use it judiciously as too much will attract dirt, not the best look for a table.
All teak oils are basically the same; linseed oil with dye. I personally like the Watco brand and have used it on many tables. I also currently use it on the toe rails and other teak bright work on our current boat.
